Kyle is our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of our company and has experience in running a variety of community groups and community radio stations. Kyle Scott has been involved in the local media since a very young age. His first radio show was at Newcaslte & Gateshead’s first ever fulltime FM community radio station (NE1fm) Kyle presented a number of shows including The dedication show, Saturday Mid Morning, Drivetime and attending a number of Outside Broadcasts. He left NE1fm early 2019 to start something new.
In August 2019 Kyle Scott formed Radio Shields NE CIC with only two volunteers and limited funds, the station eventually opened its doors in September and launched it’s fulltime online only community radio service on 14th September. The Station grew and eventually the programming schedule was busy with lot’s of different programmes. Throughout lockdown the local radio services proved itself to the local authorities that it had something to offer and their was a need for the local radio service.
In early 2021 the station was asked by Red Army Group (formally MUX ONE) to support it’s ofcom application to bring Tyneside 30+ radio stations to the area and in December of that year Radio Shields went live on the UK’s first small scale DAB Radio system and has gone from strength to strength.
In March of 2024 Kyle and the board of directors renamed the company from ‘Radio Shields NE Community interest Company’ to ‘Affinity Media NE CIC’ we plan to bring Tyneside a second radio service delivered by ourselves. We expect this to launch across Newcastle and Gateshead soon.
In January 2025, Kyle plans to launch ‘Affinity Radio’ on the Newcastle and Gateshead small scale DAB service.
